Title: Modern Money Theory is a hoax as its arguments are contradictory, based on irrational propositions, and impractical
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to apprise the readers of the MMT?s misconception misrepresentation relating origin and character of money, monetary policy, fiscal policy and to explain that these concepts and theories of MMT are hypothetical and have no connection with how present economy is functioning and that if the suggestion of MMT for increasing budget-deficit without provisioning how that deficit will be redeemed then this policy of increasing deficit heedlessly will lead the economy as a whole to a catastrophe and collapse. This is a conceptual/ theoretical paper that addresses various definitions, concepts, theories and practices that the MMT believes to be prevalent in the present economics studies and economic activities are unrealistic and their suggestions are unhelpful for smooth function of the economy.  Based scholarship, I make an argument that these need to be corrected or re-addressed.   Bolstered by published research in this domain, I further argue that this exercise is necessary in order to eliminate the negative effects of the MMT theories on the economy at large. The other purpose of this paper is to make suggestions about how and why money originated and how the present monetary and fiscal policies are being framed and followed and how those policies can be corrected to facilitate smooth functioning of the economy and to achieve sustainable economic growth.  To make economy function properly and to make sure that the economy does not face any austerity or unemployment or ineffective production and distribution system, the faults or defects with the MMT that is gaining ground among economists should be explained clearly and conclusively so that economists do not fall in the trap of MMT?s imaginary and hypothetical theory of ?functional finance? and ?a government that issues its sovereign currency can never go default?. And finally, grounded in scholarly literature, I also argue that other notions relating to monetary, fiscal and financial policies also need to be clearly understood to make those policies viable and efficient for the economy to have a balance between production and distribution.

Title: Austrian School of Economics? Prescriptions for Monetary Reforms will cause complete Chaos in the Economy and Ruin the Economic System 
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to show how the Austrian School of Economics? suggestions and prescriptions can cause complete chaos and anarchy in the economic system. The Austrian School of Economics? diagnosis of the defects in the functioning and practice of economics are more or less as the following. It thinks that the creation of money out of thin air and lowering interest rate for lending that money are the primary causes of inflation and boom-bust cycle, both of which are detrimental to the economy. Besides, this School?s opinion is that the government in connivance with the central bank adopts such policies like bailing out and spending excessively. It increases the government debt unnecessarily. To repay this debt, the government increases tax which in turn reduces the spending capacity of the tax-payers. Thus, according to this School, both the monetary policy of the central bank and the fiscal policy of the government (government intervention in the economics and financial system) cause unnatural and harmful effects on the overall economic condition of a nation.To ameliorate these defects, the Austrian School of Economics prescribes the following remedies.  This School thinks, as money is not anchored to any commodity, so the central bank and government are in a position to increase the money supply without limit; this increase in money supply causes inflation which in turn leads to more demand for money supply. To meet this new demand for money the central bank creates and supplies more amount of money and lower the interest rate than the natural rate of interest. This increase in money-supply, again, causes inflation and renewed demand for extra money; again extra supply of money, again inflation increases. Thus the vicious circle of money supply and inflation leads to boom and bust. Therefore, this School suggests that money-creation should be anchored to some commodity so that creation of money cannot be unlimited. This School thinks that if money-creation is based on the standard of gold and silver then there will be no fiat money or easy money and inflation will be controlled and there will be little chance of occurring boom-bust cycle. There other suggestion is that the central bank should be dissolved or abolished and there should not be any central authority to impose any uniform monetary policy on the economy. In every area there will be banks independent of any superior authority; the monetary policy and the interest rates will be formulated by the market forces of the concerned area where the authority of a bank will be operative. This School prescribes unfettered market system. This School also suggests that government should not interfere into the economic and financial activities neither in the positive way like bailing out any falling bank or corporate nor by enforcing any law that may control the economy in any way. This School also suggests that government should minimize its expenditure even by curtailing its spending for what is considered as public works. This School is also of the opinion that government should lower its tax-rate or abolish tax altogether.According to the Austrian School of Economics, in the present economics system, the central bank creates fiat money or debt money to give loans and thus increases the supply of money. The Austrian School suggests that if money creation is followed strictly with the commodity (gold) standard then loan can be given only by using the savings and there will be no possibility of increase in the money-supply as existing money that is saved will be used for lending purposes. Therefore, no question of inflation due to increase in money-supply (fiat money that is created out of nothing) will arise.It will be simply impossible to deal with all the prescriptions and suggestions of the Austrian School in this paper and to suggest how those prescriptions may be developed further so as to make them function flawless or more correctly. It also becomes imperative to explain in which way the diagnosis and prescriptions of other Schools are wrong. It seems me that the differences of opinion among these Schools are mostly due to the absence of any universally accepted definition and function of money and how money should be oriented to suit our purpose of achieving a sustainable economic growth unhampered by occasional visit of boom-bust cycles. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to suggest that while it is correct that money should be anchored to commodity, yet more thoughts are necessary as to how the growing demand for money with the expanding monetary activities could be met. If we can arrive at a correct definition of money and how we can orient the money to function in the way to eliminate those harmful effects that, the Austrian School of Economics has shown, occur in the present economic system. Therefore, primary aim of this paper is to examine how far the assertion that money must be any commodity is workable in the economic and financial systems of a country.

Title: Identification of Spatial and Temporal Variations of Roofing Materials to Reduce Asbestos Usage in Sri Lanka Using Hot Spot Analysis
Abstract: According to the World Health Organization, Asbestos is one of the lung cancer causing hazardous materials in the world. By the end of 2018 October, 66 countries have taken steps to ban the Asbestos.  Sri Lankan government made a policy decision to ban the Asbestos form 2018. However, this policy was suspended due to the difficulties in creating suitable alternative products at a reasonable price within a short span of time. Asbestos, Clay tile, Metal Sheet, Zinc Aluminum, and Concrete are the most common roofing materials in Sri Lanka. Clay tile usage is the most prominent roofing material and it is accountable for 48% followed by 35% of asbestos as primary roofing materials. This research aims to observe the spatial and temporal variations of Asbestos, Clay tile, and Zinc Aluminum using Geographic Information System (GIS 10.4.1) in Sri Lanka. Department of Census and Statistics data show, each roofing materials usage varies geographically and timely. Therefore, Hot spot analysis is conducted to identify the clustering patterns of Asbestos, Clay tile, and Zink Aluminum for 268 administrative divisions in the country. The clustering patterns illustrate the spatial and temporal variation of each roofing material. Asbestos and Clay tile Hot spot percentages have increased from 27.99 to 36.57 and 34.33 to 38.81 respectively, from 2001 to 2012.The findings highlight important areas to implement a long lasting national policy to limit Asbestos in the construction industry, while supporting the country?s economy, national health, and selecting alternative roofing materials.

Title: The Role of Academy, Media and Politics in Resolving Cultural Differences: A Study of Multicultural Societies
Abstract: The tsunami of globalization in our times has brought about the interface of various cultures in the world. While the social and political actions taken in some countries in the interest of creation of a homogeneous multicultural society are appreciable, education in schools and colleges needs to be attuned to that end. Drawing primarily on the findings of sociologist Bhikhu Parekh and philosopher Martha Nussbaum, my paper discusses related issues and stresses the fact that the goal of a truly multicultural society may not be achievable on the basis of commonality of economic interests, but the appreciation and interiorization of the sentiment of vasudhaiv kutumbukam, i.e., all the world is one family, can certainly help mankind.

Title: Managing Talent Loss in the Hospitality Purchasing Function
Abstract: Talent loss is a vexing yet underexplored issue in the hospitality industry. This paper seeks to extend the existing literature through an exploratory investigation of the risk of knowledge loss resulting from the possible departure of talented employees in the purchasing function of hotels. Despite the dynamic structure of the hospitality industry that limits the attractiveness of the industry as a setting that is suitable for talent, the purchasing function represents a pivotal position in hotels. The departure of talented purchasing managers disrupts supply chain operations and leads to a loss of valuable explicit, tacit, and relational knowledge. Strategic purchasing managers possess critical skills and knowledge that are essential for international hotels. Hence, proactive mitigation strategies are used to counter the risk of knowledge loss before they leave. More reactive and undocumented strategies are used by local hotels that consider the risk of knowledge loss as low, and make limited investments to retain critical knowledge. Strategic alliances with critical suppliers and small supplier networks were thought to mitigate the loss of relational knowledge in case hotels. Hotels interested in implementing a talent loss strategy would be well advised to: treat the purchasing function as a strategic one; document risk management and mitigation strategies; adopt proactive mitigation strategies; match mitigation strategies with the type of knowledge at risk; and design and implement mitigation strategies that reduce the share of personal contacts and emotion-based trust in supplier relationships to retain relational knowledge in case of talent loss. The findings of this exploratory investigation add to our understanding of the talent loss issue in the hospitality industry. We show that knowledge loss following the departure of talented employees in the purchasing function of hotels is an important risk to manage by hoteliers.

Title: Keeping Real World Bias Out of Artificial Intelligence ?Examination of Coder Bias in Data Science Recruitment Solutions? 
Abstract: Research Question and Objectives: Is there subtle gender bias in the way companies word and code job listings in such fields as engineering and programming?  Although the Civil Rights Act effectively bans companies from explicitly requesting workers of a particular gender, the language in these listings may discourage many women from applying.The objectives of the research are to create to foundational constructs leaders can use to address the growing employee competency and business performance gaps created by the impact of lack of gender diversity among data scientist roles, and siloes across enterprise talent strategies.  These two objectives include: Integrated Data Scientist and HCM Leadership Development Strategies and  AI Leadership Assessment and Development w/ Risk Audits.

Title: Technological Implications of Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer in Microchannels
Abstract: Heat transfer and fluid flow in microchannels have been topics of intense research in the past decade. A critical review of the current state of research is presented with a focus on the future research needs. On basis of six topics related to transport phenomena in microchannels: single-phase gas flow, enhancement in single-phase liquid flow and flow boiling, flow boiling instability, condensation, electronics cooling, and microscale heat exchangers. It has also been demonstrated that the shear work due to the slipping fluid increases the effect of viscous heating on heat transfer. On the other hand, very few experiments support the theoretical models and a significant effort should be made in this direction, especially for measurement of temperature fields within the gas in microchannels, implementing promising recent techniques such as molecular tagging thermometry (MTT). The single-phase liquid flow in microchannels has been established to behave similar to the macroscale flows. The current need is in the area of further enhancing the performance. Progress on implementation of flow boiling in microchannels is facing challenges due to its lower heat transfer coefficients and critical heat flux (CHF) limits. With this, condensation heat transfer models can progress from primarily annular flow based models with some adjustments using dimensionless parameters to those that can directly account for transport in intermittent and other flows, and the varying influences of tube shape, surface tension and fluid property differences over much larger ranges than currently possible. Electronics cooling continues to be the main driver for improving thermal transport processes in microchannels, while efforts are warranted to develop high performance heat exchangers with microscale passages. Specific areas related to enhancement, novel configurations, nanostructures and practical implementation will be handled in the research with appropriate numerical techniques. The conditions for micro channel flow will be sought from the present numerical analysis.

Title: THE TREATMENT OF THE EU CITIZENS  AND THEIR RELATIVES  IN ALBANIA 
Abstract: The treatment of foreigners entering or seeking to enter, stay or work in the territory of the Republic of Albania, according to the criteria and norms of EU legislation, is subject of the Law nr. 108  ?On Foreigners? of 28.03.2013.This law specifies in detail the types of residence permits, and for the first time a re-sidence permit is foreseen for hughly skolled workers, and the recognition of this tyfe of residence permits by other countries, based on possible agreements. The provisions related to the residence permits, provides the possibility for any fo-reigner, who is registered as a resident in Albania, to seek family reunification, as it happens in the European Union. The purpose of this specific law is to follow the steps of the European Union coun-tries related to the respect of the fundamental right of the free movement and the fa-mily reunification. The right to be accompanied by their family members, was and continues to be a right that regardless  the nationality of the  family members  itselfs.The family reunion, according to Albanian national law, is considered the entry and the stay in the Republic of Albania of memebers of the family of an Albanian citizen resident who do not have Albanian citizenship or are stateless. Family reunification aims to preserve the family, regardless of wether the family re-lationship is established before or after the entry of a foreigner into the Republic of Albania. When we talk about the family law protection with regard to freedom of movement, we tend to differentiate between the family of the EU citizen and the the family of the non EU citizens.For both EU and non-EU citizens, in the Republic of Albania, is the Law nr. 108 ?On Foreigners? of 28.03.2013 that defines the limits to the right to free movement, and as a result to the right of family reunification.Family reunion is allowed only for certain categories of persons who enjoy the status of a family member. The Albanian leslature accorded the status of family member to spouses, cohabitants, first-line ancestors and descendants. The Law "On Foreigners" has reflected the suggestions of EU experts, the most posi-tive experiences of legislation and administrative practices of some EU member states, such as Slovenia, Finland, Norway, Romania, but also Croatia.

Title: CHALENGING RATIONALISTIC AND OBJECTIVISTIC PERSPECTIVE OF ORGANIZATION
Abstract: Institutional theory of organizations, population ecology theory and organizational culture theory are three newer theories that represent alternative and challenge to rationalistic and objectivistic research paradigm in the theory of organization. After a relatively long period in which rationalist and objectivist theories of organizations prevailed, during the second half of the twentieth century three theories emerged that explained the structuring and functioning of organizations from a completely opposite viewpoint. From the 1950s to the 1970s, the dominant theoretical explanation of the structure and processes of all organization types, especially business organizations, was based on the assumption that objective factors and the rationality of decision makers had an impact on organizations. Thus, the contingency theory of organizations explained that the structuring and functioning of organizations resulted from the impact of objective, external factors (contingencies) such as environment, technology, stage of an organization?s life cycle and strategies. The process of organizations? structuring and of shaping the processes within them was treated as a rational decision-making process, in which the organization?s leader played a key role. The result of such an approach is a configurational perspective of organizations, according to which the organizational structure is actually a configuration of internally consistent components that are congruent to external factors. However, since the 1980s, three very interesting theories have emerged, representing an antipode to the prevailing rationalist and objectivist theories: institutional theory of organizations, population ecology theory and organizational culture theory. All three theories explain the structuring and shaping of processes within organizations in terms of interpretivism and social interactions, and not rational decision making. Unlike the rationalist and objectivist theories of organizations, the organizational culture theory, population ecology theory and institutional theory of organizations, find the ultimate source of organizational structure and functioning in the meaning of the reality that has been socially constructed. The process of organizational structuring is, in all three theories, a subjective process of creating meanings through social interactions. Accordingly, the focus of the institutional, population ecology and cultural theories of organizations is no longer as much on formal organizational structure, as was the case with the contingency theory of organizations, as it is on behavioral patterns, regularities in organizational functioning and the models of interaction within organizations.

Title: Women-Led Films: Different Female Representations in Popular Cinemas.
Abstract: This is a comparative study to look into cinematic feminism between English-speaking blockbuster and non-blockbuster films that screening from 2012 to 2015. This study will choose films that led by female character(s) and to explore, compare, and justify the feminism qualities that reflected through the female characters and storylines. In this study, six female-led films are selected: The Hunger Games, Mad Max: The Fury Road, Cinderella, Gone Girl, Brooklyn, and Carol. This study assumes that modern high budget productions are portraying feminism conventionally through unrealistic characters and masculine domination stories; while the non-blockbuster productions are portraying feminism progressively through reflective characters and self-determination stories. Blockbuster films? actresses are commonly created as recognisable female superheroes with strong masculine traits but living in a men-ruled world, or princesses that living in fairy tales. The cinematic feminism is superficial and ambiguous in blockbuster commercial films. Hence, non-blockbuster films? actresses are characterised with conservative and realistic images but given more chances to deal with alternatives, decisions, and progressions throughout the development of the story. Non-blockbuster films? characters and stories are less emphasizing on masculine feminism but more focusing on subtle yet significant feminism expressions. To achieve the objectives and hypotheses, this paper uses two methods ? quantitative method with a designed coding sheet in content analysis; and a qualitative method with film reviews for textual analysis. These two methods are expected to test out and evaluate the cinematic feminism through on-screen characters? gender representations and the storyline?s interpretations in selected films.

Title: Indirect Valuation of Khao-Luang Forest Area: The CVM Approach
Abstract: This research aims to investigate the indirect values of the forest, which are transformed to rubber plantation and agricultural crops. These have the negative effects to the environment. The study used Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) to explore and estimate the indirect values of the ?Kao Lhong Forest? such as the mineral in soil, the water absorption, CO2 absorption, the protection of storm and the temperature control. The questionnaires and in-dept interview techniques are applied in order to directly collect the data from the 380 local people in landslide area at Kao Lhong Forest.The research found that the local people are focusing on the indirect values, which have the effects on the community at the medium level. Good climate conditions is the most important element. Its value is averagely 3.29.  Second important element is that Kao Lhong Forest prevent storms, which its value is 3.10.  Lastly, the least average value of the important elements is water origin and soil absorb which is 2.84. Only 168 respondents willing to pay for the indirect benefits, which is averagely 77.63 baht per month.   This study found that the maximum willingness to pay is for good soil quality (Conserve Nutrition) which is 20.68 baht per month. Additionally, the minimum willingness to pay is for the absorbing of Carbon Dioxide, which the value is 13.64 baht per month.

Title: The Influence of Foreign Direct  Investments on the Economic Development of the Country
Abstract: In modern epoch the process of financial globalization requires the assessment of the economic consequences of regional integration and free movement of capital in the countries. The reason for this is the fact that the stable economic growth of the country directly depends on inflows and outflows of the capital. Georgia is a small transformational country with open economy heavily depending on the existing economic conditions of the region.  The article has studied foreign demands and direct impacts of foreign investment on the economic development of the country.  The goal of the research is to determine the priority areas and fields for direct foreign investment in Georgia, to reveal positive and negative influences attracting direct foreign investments as well as develop recommendations stimulating direct foreign investments in the country.In the article comprehensively studied the reasons for the decrease in investment.The authors of the research have compiled and systematized information about the investment market of Georgia, revealed theoretical and practical, conceptual and organizational problems, existing in. One of the reasons for the reduction of direct foreign investments by authors is the low level of development and use of investment marketing, which determines the country's low level of competitiveness in the global investment market. Accordingly, Based on systematic analysis of the global investment market, have been   worked out specific methodological recommendations, that are related to developing effective marketing strategies for increasing the improvement of the investment climate and investment image of Georgia and its  competitiveness   on the global  investment market.

Title: MINING OF CLASSIFICATION TREES TO ANALYZE A MULTIDIMENSIONAL PHENOMENON
Abstract: During periods of remarkable trade openness, increase income inequality in many countries. This paper analyzes how factors that influence inequality due to commercial globalization interact each other. For which a reliable Classifier Tree -selected through a modeling process of bootstrapping- is built, it has 14 knowledge rules and classifies 84% of the observations correctly. This model indicates that inequality?s changes into a country, due greater economic integration, depend principally on the labor market? structure ?in agricultural countries and urbanization processes (industrialization) it reduces depending in turn on the rule of law; on the other hand, in countries with a strong service sector and good trade terms it increases in periods of stagnation or with low levels of high technology exports.

Title: VIBRATION CONTROL OF A CAR SUSPENSION SYSTEM USING A MAGNETORHEOLOGICAL DAMPER WITH FUZZY LOGIC CONTROLLER
Abstract: The automotive suspension system connects a vehicle?s wheels to its body while bearing the weight of the vehicle. The primary task of the suspension system is to provide a balance between ride handling and ride quality, which are at constant odds with one other. They have to be modelled and tuned to find the perfect compromise. Most vehicles today use the traditional passive suspension system. The major disadvantage of these systems is that they do not provide good ride characteristics. On the other hand, some luxury cars use the active suspension system. The constraint with these systems is that they rely too heavily on the ECU of the vehicle and are expensive. Semi-active suspension systems combine the positive aspects of the passive and active suspension systems to bring about better dynamic characteristics of the vehicle. Magnetorheological (MR) dampers are innovative devices used in semi-active suspension systems. The MR fluid present within the damper provides appropriate damping depending on the condition of the road. The behaviour of the MR damper is predicted using the Bouc-Wen hysteresis mathematical model. Designing the control strategy is the most critical part of the semi-active suspension system. Fuzzy Logic control is utilized to enhance the performance of the semi-active suspension system. The dynamic model of the semi-active suspension system is developed using the concepts of vehicle dynamics. The dynamic model was created in the Simulink environment of MATLAB.The simulation of the dynamic vehicle models was conducted on different road profiles. The fuzzy logic control, which was implemented here, has shown the best response in terms of stability as well as effectiveness. This type of control allows for superior dynamic characteristics resulting in a more pleasant ride. This type of control strategy will pave the way for intelligent automotive suspension systems in the future.

Title: Virtue Ethics and Environment
Abstract: One can definitely distinguish three major trends in a normative ethics: consequentialist, deontological and the one represented by virtue ethics. At the very beginning of the paper shortly a story of virtue ethics is reminded and then the status of the contemporary virtue ethics, which undergoes a spectacular revival nowadays, is briefly discussed. After this it is shown that an ethics of character can be modified in such way as to be applicable to an environment as such, and even that it may be normative in an effective way helping to solve some environmental problems with which both deontological and consequentialist theories have problems. In this context especially R. L. Sandler's project of a virtue-oriented environmental ethics is presented, analyzed and evaluated. His naturalistic, pluralistic and teleological project proposes some environmental virtues and vices especially referring to the environment. In such context, an axiology concerning the relation man-nature has been discussed. On the basis of some values appearing in nature virtue-oriented principles of right, adequate action has been formulated by Sandler which may, however, be hotly disputed. Then, concluding, I discuss some specific objections directed towards the possibility of developing an adequate virtue environmental ethics. It has been shown, I hope, that a project under discussion, a very interesting and certainly daring, is however still in statu nascendi, it has strong points when compared to anthropocentric (J.Passmore), biocentric (P.Taylor) and holistic (J.B.Callicot) standpoints in environmental ethics, but at the same time it also shows some weaknesses and therefore requires some further elaboration.

Title: The Credit Cycle and the Financial Fragility Hypothesis: An Evolutionary Population Approach
Abstract: Minsky's idea of triggering a financial crisis is the adoption of risky financial positions by companies and their relationship with the financial system through banks and the credit they provide. The present work seeks to provide an explanation from a microeconomic point of view through the behavior of agents and their decision making under a Theory of evolutionary games, especially population games. The great advantage of this type of games is that it allows us to obtain proportions of the different decisions that a population or subpopulation is taking and how their interaction promotes equilibrium and the dynamics towards (or around) them.This allows us to determine the dynamics and equilibria of the credit cycle, following Minsky's idea of financial fragility. Additionally, the dynamics of the replicator allows transforming the differential equations in a Lotka-Volterra system, from which it can be concluded that both companies and banks adopt a predatory prey relationship in order to survive.

Title: CAPITAL AND POVERTY IN BRAZIL
Abstract: The article analyzes the influence of social capital on income and, consequently, on poverty in Brazil. To meet this objective, we estimated the Probit model and its marginal effects. However, previously, a social capital index (CSI) was produced using the main components technique, in which three categories of indicators were considered: participation in organizations / associations; density of the partner and trust in people, based on the data provided by the World Values Survey. The results showed that in addition to social capital contributing positively to income, its impact is higher, for example, to the impacts caused by employment, marriage or because the individual is white. That is, while the probability ratio suggests that social capital can raise the level of income by 2.7 times, this increase in the income level of the individuals that are employed is only 1.4 times (when faced with other types of occupancy: students, housewives and retirees), 1.1 times for those who are married and 1.2 times for white individuals (compared to indigenous, brown and yellow). Through the marginal effects, it was verified that the lower the income scale, the greater the impact of social capital on income generation and consequently on poverty reduction. An increase in share capital reduces by 19% the probability of the lowest income category to continue to achieve low incomes. For the next, two, three and four income categories, the chances of falling are 10, 6.4 and 4.1%, respectively. However, the contribution of social capital seems to be lower than that derived from human capital, represented by the dummy that indicates if the individual has a full course, compared to the non-literate. Finally, the results show that social capital represents an important tool to reduce poverty or to alleviate poor living conditions, which may eventually occur in times of economic recession. In view of this, it is suggested that cultural social cohesions; environmental; professionals; humanitarian, among others, based on trust, cooperation, reciprocity and solidarity should be encouraged. For these cohesions, which are commonly referred to as social capital, are possibly a good measure of poverty reduction in developing countries.

Title: Evolving appropriate common engineering software: A case study
Abstract: The present paper considers the subject for under graduate engineering students in the Mechanical Engineering Department of Jadavpur University and briefly reports the findings. The changes in the curriculum are tracked for the last 40 years (1978 - 2018) and first a historical account of the engineering softwares, taught during this period, is presented. The under graduate mechanical engineering curriculum first introduced Fortran programming for the final year students. The new curricula, introduced in 1978, were in line with the overall change in the secondary and higher secondary education system of the country. During the first 3-4 years a central main frame Cyber computing system was used and in 1984, the department had arranged an in-house computational laboratory. With gradual development in computational facilities, necessity of introducing a graphics software was felt. However, this was initiated in production specialization, as part of CAD/CAM laboratory. A separate computer aided drafting laboratory was formed in 1992 and later in 1998 the computational and drafting laboratories were integrated. During all these years, Fortran and AutoCAD were taught in the first and second year of the common curricula, and other softwares like MatLab, AutoLisp, Ansys, etc. was used in the final year project work, in stand-alone mode. Afterwards in 1998 another solid modelling software was introduced in third year design sessional subject. By this time, the need of introducing an object oriented software was felt but could not be introduced due to lack of able faculty members. Many elective subjects came up in the new century as elective theory. Subjects like FEM, CFD, CAD, Data Structure, Optimization, etc. were introduced, but all of them suffered due to lack of support from supplementary computer laboratory. Finally in 2018, Fortran has been replaced by C programming language, again in line with the overall change in the under graduate engineering education system of the country. It is expected that future changes in curricula will focus on using object oriented softwares, in the existing subjects.

Title: Tribology of Materials ? An Eco-sustainable Perspective
Abstract: Due to growing environmental concern, an initiative to switch towards eco-friendly options for engineering problems has been observed lately. Tribology is one such domain in which a lot of scope exists for employing eco-sustainable solutions. The present article discusses the tribological materials from an eco-sustainable viewpoint. Various surface finishing methods and bio friendly lubricants have been deliberated. Besides, suitable biomimetic techniques have also been presented. Finally some aspects touching the economics and eco-sustainable philosophies relevant to the subject have been discussed.Eco sustainable tribology should be integrated into world science and make its impact on the solutions for worldwide problems, such as the change of climate and the shortage of food and drinking water. Tribology can be made a green process by have minimal loss of energy, longer life of devices, lesser emission of greenhouse gases and lower use of toxic materials. Lot of scope exists for achieving this which can be though use of natural materials for tribological purposes where possible, development of multifunctional coatings, reducing the loss of frictional energy by making surfaces smoother and increasing the life of device by having lower wear and corrosion. Lubrication is one key field where lot of scope exists to make to make the process eco-sustainable. Finally, strategic global policies are to be undertaken so that people are bound to go for eco-sustainable solution in tribology.

Title: The Impact of Iranian-Islamic Architectural Style on India's Taj Mahal
Abstract: The Islamic architecture as a stout tree has rooted in the peninsula of Arabia and its branches and leaves in neighboring countries like Iran, and its flowering in the continent of India and the Far East are visible. The study of impact of Persian- Islamic architecture and results of its growth and maturity in the Subcontinent of India can be used as a feedback in the process of architecture.With regard to the beginning of the Moslems' entrance to the Indus valley, in the eighth century, no traces of this period has been left except the cramped quarters of a small mosque, but in the twelfth century, the Moslems started creating  some valuable works again. After various periods and in the age known as Mongol (Mughals of India) architecture of the Subcontinent influenced greatly by the art of Iran, flourished considerably. The Taj Mahal is one of the famous works of Islamic architecture in the world which was build in this period by the strong hands of Muslim architects- some of them were Persian.

Title: The effects of treaties ceded to Russia and Britain during the Qajar period (Naseri and Mozafari)
Abstract: Qajar governments of Naseri and Mozaffari periods, while western countries were developing in the economic fields, investment exporting policy to undeveloped countries, lagged behind others in the domains of agriculture, trade and industry. Regarding this fact and determining its origins, many theories have been presented since that time. Obstructionism in the essence of Qajar state and government's inability to recognize the economic facts and foundations of countries' development, proper cultural basis for social retreat from the world and ultimately the government's submission to Russia's and Britain's colonial policy were among the causes for the lag of country's economy behind the process of development. This article will firstly deal with the economic changes and study of Iran's government in Naseri and Mozaffari periods, then it will refer to the scant measures taken by the government in the domain of economic development which led to a fruitless economy. Thirdly, the article tries to talk about those social layers of the country such as merchants who had significant incentives to stimulate the economic growth in the country. They not only lacked the government's support but faced many obstacles by the state. In the fourth place, we will infer from high rate of bankruptcy, degeneration of domestic traditional industries, conversion of a few trades, some entities, to economy, obvious signs of economic deadlock against development and analyze them.

Title: Can the admission system have an influence on university selection?
Abstract: In our paper, we would like to compare the higher education admission systems of two neighboring Central European countries, those of Hungary and Slovakia. We found this comparison particularly interesting because, in Slovakia, most universities admit applicants without an entrance exam, based on their grades from high school (sometimes even without taking into account school leaving exam results). Universities define their admission re-quirements themselves and make decisions on which of the applicants they wish to give an opportunity to locally. There are no central quotas defined. A given student who applies to 3 universities might get 3 different results in the respective application processes and theoret-ically can parallelly get accepted by several institutions. In such a case, in Slovakia, the stu-dent concerned must make the decision where to study in the possession of the exact infor-mation about his choices.In contrast, Hungary has a centralized admission system under which high school students are admitted to the higher education system via a transparent points system. The number of points is calculated based on study points (a maximum of 200 points), school leaving exam points (a maximum of 200 points) and additional points (a maximum of 100 points). Under this system, students must define which institution they would prefer as early as the time of application; if they are accepted, they cannot change the priorities afterwards.We were seeking to find out what differences arise in the number of students accepted into a university as a result of the application of these two systems. To find out, we have assessed data from the given academic years about the number of students who finished high school and the number of those who were accepted into one of the higher education institutions. We used data from the Central Statistical Office (Hungary), the Ministry of Education (Slo-vakia) and Eurostat.
